The Dramatists Guild's Fellows Program will host their Annual Presentation at Playwrights Horizons in New York on October 7, 2013. The Fellows Program will present excerpts from new works written by the fourteen talented playwrights, composers and lyricists who were the 2012-2013 Dramatists Guild Fellows.

The 2012-2013 Dramatists Guild Fellows include Clarence Coo, Meridith Friedman, Dipika Guha, Sarah Hirsch & Nick Myers, Timothy Huang, Ryan Langer, Victor Lesniewski, James McLindon, Rebekah Melocik & Jacob Yandura, Eric Price & Will Reynolds, and Tatiana Suarez-Pico. Andy Einhorn is the musical director for the presentation.

Also in attendance will be the newly selected 2013 - 2014 Dramatists Guild Fellows. They are playwrights Jiehae Park, Gabriel Dean, Matthew Paul Olmos, Sarah Sander and Antoinette Nwandu; musical writers Pia & Peter Cincotti; Katya Stanislavskaya; Max Vernon; Sam Willmott; Alexander Oyen & James Presson.

Over the past nine months the 2012-2013 Dramatists Guild Fellows met as a community, and under the tutelage of Michael Korie, Diana Son and Andrea Lepcio, developed full-length plays and musicals. Founded by Lynn Ahrens and Janet Neipris, who led the program for many years along with Stephen Flaherty and Susan Miller, the Dramatists Guild Fellows Program brings together playwrights and musical theater writers to discuss their work, introduce them to experienced theater professionals, and pair them with artist mentors. The Fellows Program is administered by the Dramatists Guild of America and funded by the Dramatists Guild Fund with additional support from the Matt & Josephine Grisham Foundation and Kara Unterberg.

This year's guests and mentors include Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, David Auburn, Kirsten Childs, Bruce Coughlin, Ben Famiglietti, Liz Frankel, Daniel Goldfarb, Michael Greif, Jerome Hairston, Carol Hall, Anne Kaufman, Tom Kitt, James Lapine, Terrence McNally, Emily Morse, Itamar Moses, Marsha Norman, Lynn Nottage, Jose Rivera, Sarah Ruhl, Stephen Schwartz, Rachel Sheinkin, Eric Stern, Alfred Uhry, Jeanine Tesori, John Weidman, Michael Weller, Tracey Scott Wilson, and Doug Wright.

The evening will end with a reception with featured guests and artists.
